Handle a power cord with care.
If you hold the power cord of the AC adapter to carry or pull it to disconnect from a plug socket, it
will be damaged, resulting in snapping or short-circuiting. Also, take care that it will not come into
contact with cutters, high-temperature substances, oil or grease. Replace the damaged power
cord with a new one.
!6
Once the Battery is disconnected from the tool body, be sure to cover it with a pack cap,
unless it is used.
In order to prevent short-circuiting, cover the terminal block (metal section) of the unused Battery
with the pack cap.
!7
Never short-circuit the terminal block (metal section) of the Battery.
If it is short-circuited, a large current will run to overheat the Battery, causing you a burn or
damage on it.
!8
Never throw the Battery into a fire.
Neglect of this could cause an explosion.
6. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN CONNECTING THE BATTERY TO THE TOOL
When connecting the Battery to the tool, be sure to observe the following in order to prevent
malfunctioning.
1. Do not put your finger on the trigger.
2. Do not press the contact arm against the object.
3. Never put your finger or hand near the muzzle.
7. BE SURE TO CHECK WHEN THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED
Prior to using the tool, connect the Battery to it without pressing the contact arm against the object
and loading the pins and Fuel Cell, and be sure to check the following:
1. Check whether or not operating sound is heard, by only connecting the Battery.
If you connect the Battery and press the contact arm against the floor, and so on, the fan of the
tool will run, but this is not abnormal.
2. Check for heat generation or abnormal smell or sound.
If the tool is activated, generates the heat or emits abnormal smell or sound, it is an indication of
trouble. Using the tool in that condition results in an accident. If any abnormality is found, contact
your nearest authorized distributor.
8. UNPLUG THE CHARGER WHEN IT IS NOT USED
9. ONLY USE TOOL IN WELL VENTILATED AREA
If used in an ill-ventilated place, you could suffer from oxygen starvation.
10. AVOID THE DIRECT SUNSHINE
Do not place the tool in a vehicle or a trunk where the temperature could rise, because it could
explode. A used empty Fuel Cell still contains a combustible jet gas, which could swell and explode
a container into pieces.
